KDE Trash icon disappears after emptying the bin

RENOMIZER · April 18, 2024, 1:00pm

Not so long ago trash icon began to disappear if I place anything into the bin or empty it. When I refresh the desktop by changing its mode from “folder view” to “desktop” and back or if I rename the icon it reappears but not permanently. Has anyone ever faced similar issue?
I’ve tried removing the icon and creating it anew but it didn’t seem to work at all.

Same experience here.

But my perspective is ,"why do I need a trash icon (it’s a Windows thing). I know if I’m gonna delete a file, and do so.

My fix was to delete the Trash icon and create it again. Reminder: I never use it.

KDE 5 here, not version 6. And never Wayland.

Got the same thing. When i delete a file from my desktop, the trashbin disappears. After rebooting, its back though.

I did some digging around and came across these error messages:

After this I decided to check whether or not this problem exists on a fresh install of Tumbleweed and it sure does. So it seems like its caused by some faulty update and all we can do for now is wait for a patch.
